"Lent was a source of shame and embarrassment for me."

For years, Fr. Mark struggled to get through the 40 days of Lent. Between "over-discerning" what to do and forgetting his plan by day two, he felt like a failure. Sound familiar?

In this video, Fr. Mark shares his personal "Lenten Testimony"—how he moved from a cycle of embarrassment to a season of "holy envy" and spiritual victory. He breaks down the suggestion that rescued his Lent and three tips to have an invigorating, satisfying battle this year.

In This Video:
The "BUSY" Trap: What the word actually stands for (and why it’s a lousy excuse).

The Power of Clarity: Why Fr. Mark stopped over-thinking and started a "wimpy" Daniel Fast.

The "Daniel Feast": Why your Lent should actually be fun and how to handle "the big cross" of daily emails with a little dark chocolate.

Lent starts this Wednesday. Don’t let another year go by feeling stranded. It’s time to move from shame to a "Daniel Feast."
